Welcome to another guest episode on the Journey to Authenticity podcast!

Today I'm interviewing Alyssa Schneider, founder of Creating Freedom Agency; strategic operations for women shaping the future.  She is also the creative genius behind the Journey to Authenticity cover art!

Alyssa and I have so much in common (beyond our shared first name) which is what connected us initially and lead to us both supporting each other with our unique gifts.  I am so grateful that Alyssa chose to share her story with us in this episode.

In today's episode, we discuss...

• Alyssa’s unique journey from counseling, to coaching, to creating an Operations Agency
• How authenticity is about embracing all sides of ourselves, especially the ones we think are contradictory
• The importance of knowing yourself and building your support team from that place
• Why you need to take the time to get clear on what you truly need (not what you think you need) in each chapter of life
• How starting her own business was so fulfilling after her experience putting ideas forward and not being heard in previous jobs
• Knowing when to pivot so you can follow the flow vs the force
• How the ripple effect of each of us doing what we’re great at creates such a powerful impact on the world
• Letting go of what is not aligned in order to “free-fall” into everything that is meant for you
• How Alyssa intentionally closed the gap between how she presents herself online and who she is in her personal life through “strategic authenticity”
• Her experience with friendships evolving and changing over time as she learned to embrace her most authentic self
• Coming to terms with the loss and grief that is an inevitable part of the journey to authenticity
• Why turning 30 is such a pivot time of life
• How our values, needs, morals, and beliefs always guide us in the direction we’re meant to go even if we aren’t clear on what that is in the moment
• And more!

Be sure to listen with an open heart and mind so that you can receive the guidance you need for the next step on your unique journey!

If you would like to connect with Alyssa or work with Creating Freedom Agency, you can find her on Instagram @creatingfreedom.agency or check out the creatingfreedom.agency website!

I can personally attest to the amazing resource Alyssa created to support entrepreneurs in getting organized behind the scenes!  The Organized Chaos Notion Hub changed the game for me.  You can purchase it here using the code AUTHENTIC to save 20%.

Feel free to share your takeaways with me personally @authentically.alyssa or on your Instagram story so we can all continue supporting and inspiring each other!
